While looking for something completely unrelated I stumbled into music for sports. Let’s see music, sports, women and beer would be next…right, M0m0? Hold on let’s try two at a time. Why not the two that should cause the least trouble?

Music for sports offers up sound suggested by sport (and by 6 other sort criteria). A visit to Ice Hockey brings you to a menu of samples ranging from “Anthemic rock with tension-building sections” (titled Bodycheck) to “Fast smooth jungle” (titled Golden Goal). You roll tape with an NHL quality fierce check crunching two players into the boards…not time for the “fast, smooth jingle” not yet anyway. You may opt for “Heavy-Metal Underscore par excellance”.

Why would you be doing this at all? Maybe, you are working on a new video game. Or you may be producing a highlight video for the High School football season. The site boasts some pretty impressive customers. Take a look…

Since launching in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics, Music For Sport has become one of the world’s leading providers of sports production music. Recent worlldwide credits include CSI, CSI New York, CSI MIami, NCIS, Young and Restless, 48 Hours, Late Show With David Letterman, The Class, Animal Planet and Saturday Night Live.

Wow. OK, then. Are they free? Are you kidding? Go get your kid sister and the keyboard she got for her birthday if you want free.

Check it out! You will quickly see where some of the sound for sports segments come from. You just did not know the title of the piece might just be “Epic and Triumphant show-stopper”.
